Must Be My Lucky Day!

Published on May 6, 2009 in General.

So I get a call from an auction house which shall remain nameless for now, telling me that one of my purchases during the live auction won’t go through because there was some miscommunication somehow, that is, after I agreed to purchase it. Now I can somewhat understand these issues but this isn’t the first time.

Then, another domainer which shall remain nameless for now as well put some domains for sale. I asked for total price on a number of them, got a reply, sent Paypal before the domains were transfered (meaning, I actually trusted him to transfer without escrow), just to get a note the method of payment isn’t to his liking.

I’m off for the day. If you call I won’t pick up. If you email you won’t get a reply. Maybe some other day.

Have a great day, at least, I hope better than mine!

Wow Sahar!

Thats a bad start to the day!

I cant believe a fellow domainer sending a response like that to you, not just because its you but in general its NOT GOOD BUSINESS!

Crazy!

Regards,

Robbie

p.s. Sahar if you are looking to buy - I have some great generic.com domains for sale on behalf of a client drop me an email if you are looking to buy. ( These Are Top Quality )

That really sucks, reflects badly on the industry as a whole when people behave in a unprofessional manner.

Hope your day gets better.
Cheers.

Unfortunately #@E@ happens when you have your own business. But you took the right approach - tomorrow is a new day!

Wow, sorry Sahar. You’re an upstanding broey, and nobody should EVER treat you like you’re some beginner. What’s your “forward strategy” on this, other than taking a day or two off, getting wasted, and enjoying other areas of your wonderful life?

I would expect anyone in this business to not play games with you regarding your domaining. Could have lasting repercussions.

For you Sahar, I would think anyone having your good trust and satisfaction would be worth tens of thousands of $$$$, if not more, to anyone doing business with you for the next few years. To do something to cause you to disrespect them, ooops, could be a sinkhole for them very quickly.

Good luck on it, bro. Go to a Greek wedding for a nice distraction!

Stephen,

It’s their loss. We still spend significant money every year buying domains from individuals as well as auction houses, and it isn’t even our main business for years now.

Not worried, it’s a new day today

Cheers

I believe the Domainer in this case insisted on a Paypal Mass Pay, correct? I think since the Domains were sold for small margins, the fees in paypal might make their profit nearly extinguish.
